Chapter 717 Old Foxes

The lawyer named Noel smiled slightly and said: "The amount of 500 million US dollars is written in black and white. Once you reach the court, it is impossible for you to pay nothing, but I can find a way." Help you save one or two hundred million dollars."

"It's enough to save 100 to 200 million yuan, what should we do next?" Omi's uncle asked.

"If Zhang Guan really wins this year's F1 championship, then you guys should just renege on your debts and don't give him money." Noel said.

"But in that case, he will definitely sue us," said old Maria.

"Then let him sue. Once we enter the litigation process, we will first ask for a settlement. My solicitor can first propose a settlement agreement, such as a settlement at a price of 200 million U.S. dollars." Noel laughed speak.

"300 million U.S. dollars? This is a reduction of 200 million U.S. dollars, which is nearly half. How could Zhang Guan agree?" Old Maria shook her head and said.

"Of course he won't agree, but I will find a way to force him to agree. Don't forget, when the news of the $500 million bet broke out today, if Zhang Guan didn't respond positively, it also meant that he didn't admit it positively. The existence of this bet can be used as a basis, and based on this, I am sure that I can have a relationship with him more than a dozen times." Noel said.

"A lawsuit? Can you win?" Old Maria asked with a guilty conscience.

"Of course we can't win! With the contract in hand, how can we win? But I can delay it." Noel went on to say, "This lawsuit, I estimate that the first trial can be delayed for eleven or twelve halls, and then we can appeal, and the second trial will be delayed for another Seven or eight courts, even if we lose, we can still appeal until the final trial. The average justice would not dare to accept a $500 million lawsuit. It is estimated that the selection of judges is a very long moment, and we can also ask for Jurors, ask to change judges, ask to change jurors, I estimate that there is no problem in dragging a lawsuit with such a large amount of litigation for seven or eight years."

"Even if it drags on for seven or eight years, we will still lose. At that time, we will still give him 500 million U.S. dollars." Old Maria said anxiously.

"You're right, but how much is the 500 million dollars in seven or eight years worth compared to what it is now? Calculated at the rate of inflation, the purchasing power of the 500 million dollars in seven or eight years will be halved, right? Even if we don't calculate inflation, find a financial expert and give him 500 million US dollars, maybe it will double in four or five years, do you think this makes sense?" Noel asked with a smile.

"That's right." Old Maria nodded.

"So during the litigation process, I want Zhang Guan to understand this truth. If he agrees to a settlement and accepts 300 million U.S. dollars, he will only lose 200 million U.S. dollars. If he wants to file a lawsuit, he will have to wait until seven or eight years later. If he got 500 million U.S. dollars, and the 500 million U.S. dollars at that time was far less valuable than the 300 million U.S. dollars now, he would lose more. Of course, we can increase the price appropriately during the negotiation process, which depends on his psychological bottom line. "Noel said with a smile: "Of course, if he has not accepted the settlement, then wait until seven or eight years later and give him another 500 million US dollars. I will delay the time for seven or eight years. For your Maria family, It should be a very favorable ending!"

Old Maria immediately agreed. Even if 500 million US dollars only eats interest, it can save a lot after seven or eight years. Moreover, for businessmen, their money is used to make money, and if 500 million US dollars is used for investment, it is not a dream to quadruple in eight years.

Lawyer Noel went on to say: "The key to all this is time. I need to have enough arguments to support my delay, that is, I need to have some contradictions. The more the better, if not, then create some." .And if the arguments are insufficient, the lawsuit will be over after three or five sessions, and we will not be able to stay away for that long, and there is no possibility of seeking an out-of-court settlement."

...

"If they have enough arguments, they can drag the lawsuit for a long time, and your actual loss may be more. If you understand this, will you accept the settlement? If I were your lawyer, say Maybe he will really persuade you to accept the settlement plan. You have to know that for a good lawyer, whether he can win the lawsuit is only secondary, and the key is to help his client obtain greater benefits." Ross Brown said laughingly.

What Ross-Brown explained was exactly the method used by Attorney Noel. After listening, Zhang Guan's expression suddenly became serious. In Zhang Guan's memory, the next few years will be the time for quantitative easing in various countries. To put it bluntly, it is to increase the horsepower to start the money printing machine. The US dollar, the euro, the British pound, the Japanese yen, and what we have in our pockets can be said to be The world's major currencies are getting more and more printed, the only difference is that the printing is more ruthless and the printing is more ruthless.

Money is definitely becoming less and less valuable, especially for such large sums of money. It is a completely different concept to have it in your hands five years earlier and five years later. If the Maria family really delays, In any case, Zhang Guan is always the one who suffers.

"Unexpectedly, there is such a sinister method! Doesn't that mean that as long as you owe money to others, you can use this method to renege? After several years of lawsuits, you can pay less money. This is to lend money to others Didn’t he become taken advantage of? On the contrary, he had to lose money, and it was still under the legal framework, which is too unfair!” Zhang Guan said a little angrily.

"Actually, you can't say that. Your situation is quite special. If the average person only owes 1.8 million, their money is not enough to hire a barrister to file a lawsuit!" Ross Brown spread his hands, and then said: "And under normal circumstances, borrowing money is mortgaged. For real estate, cars, stock securities, etc., the price of the collateral will definitely exceed the amount of the loan. If you want to receive 1 million, without 1.2 million collateral, who will borrow Give it to you? How can there be such a large amount of 500 million U.S. dollars in a mortgage like you? And there are some benign assets in the collateral that can appreciate in value. If the mortgaged party does not pay back the money, it will lose even more many."

Ross Brown is really on point when it comes to that. In fact, besides the racing engineer, Ross Brown is also an investment guru. He has assets of hundreds of millions of pounds, and it is obvious that he can’t earn so much with his salary as a racing engineer. His assets are mainly derived from his investment income. With Ross Brown's business acumen, even if he is not a racing engineer, many big companies have asked him to be the CEO. It can be said that Ross Brown is many times better than Zhang Guan in terms of business.

"Then what do you think is the best thing for me to do now?" Zhang Guan asked.

"Don't give the Maliya family an excuse. For the rest, you have to ask a lawyer. Doesn't our team have legal counsel? You are the boss, and your business is the team's business. Go to the legal counsel, and they won't overcharge you. Money." Ross Brown said cheerfully.
